    @criitz@reddthat.com @worldnews@lemmy.ml I’m gonna start by debunking the myth that Israel is invulnerable because they have nuclear weapons. Since they have so many conventional precision weapons pointed at Israel, without nuclear weapons Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran are still able to take out strategic targets: missile launchers, AA weapons, radar, runways, facilities in important bases, etc. In addition to this, they can use the strategy even against protected locations like these powerplants striking them with barrages that first use a bunch of cheap projectiles like drones to break the air defense then get a bunch of conventional strikes through depriving Israel of electricity. They can also do this to other facilities like water treatment, forcing military logistics to shift to providing food and water for civilians. note that none of this has the domestic and international consequences of using nuclear weapons. Now something to know about Israel is that they’re not able to do without these amenities and they require extremely high morale to be willing to fight since they live in a giant strip mall.

    This is what any microblog instance looks like when it’s being forced into an unholy matrimony with Lemmy. Mastodon looks just like this. https://fedidb.org/software/FireFish is the most advanced ActivityPub featureset available. The only complements it needs are https://fedidb.org/software/Funkwhale and https://fedidb.org/software/Bookwyrm

    The translation feature in particular makes it superior even for browsing Lemmy. But also none of you bother to provide alt-text image descriptions for people who have sight and sensory issues, while Mastodon & Misskey forks passively promote its use allowing the blind to interact with the web through our aggregation. The user tags here don’t cause any functional issue other than increasing character count. Lemmy posts on instance 1 already create a situation where a reply from instance 2 with a reply from instance 3 won’t show the third reply on instance 1. All of our software is shit, but at least it’s good shit. Anyways, your nonsense about this obviously superior software aside, let’s reply to your trashy analysis of current events.

    @mlg@lemmy.world @worldnews@lemmy.ml

    I have no idea why you’re so invested in the conjectures you’ve based off reading reports from the Zionists that this attack was successfully fended off and they took no serious damage, because the attack didn’t fit some arbitrary guideline.
    War isn’t about pleasing spectators online, as the Ukrainians have been taught so painfully over the past few years.
    Zionists spent over a billion dollars fending off Iran’s “wasteful” use of drones. The attack cost Iran something in the millions.
    They essentially launched a mass of chaff to break the AA and issued a warning strike.
    Let me quote an infamous one-trick pony commentator:

    Nevatim was defended by the world’s most advanced integrated anti-missile defense shield which incorporated Arrow 2, David’s Sling, THAAD, and Patriot 3 with the AN/TPY-2 X-band surveillance and targeting radar. You also ignore the fact that this system was designed to exclusively defend against the Iranian medium-range ballistic missile threat.
    And yet…5-7 missiles hit Nevatim. The Israelis have acknowledged 2 runways and three warehouse structures hit.
    Not a knockout blow—it wasn’t intended as such.
    But any BDA expert would note that the point of impact was center mass, a clear indication of precision guidance.
    5-7 missiles hit the world’s most heavily defended location, defeating an integrated ABM defense that was custom built to defeat the missiles it failed to shoot down.

    I guess I am supposed to trust your intuition that the Iranians are lying about getting more out of this attack than they expected because, why? They’re biased?

    @ElGosso@hexbear.net This argument is completely devoid of any understanding of how US imperialism created this war, or the self-determination by citizens in Donetsk and Luhansk to leave a state that came to be run by NATO-backed torturers filled with historical fantasies of racism makes Russia look fairly reluctant to participate in it.

    the only thing keeping your average Ukrainian from living in a war zone is western arms shipments, and tbh that’s the only argument that I find really resonates with me

    Why would this argument resonate with anyone? Are you basing your understanding of Ukraine off post-2022 discourse? You think those concert-bombing wheeled artillery pieces are protecting civilians? You should take a look at SBU headquarters, Patriot batteries can’t even do anything against their new weapons. They’re certainly not for destroying apartment complexes or community centers.

    The USA has fomented far right parties in Ukraine since WWII but what Nuland and friends have done since 2014 is truly despicable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmaakY-PIAc
